Very Short Lessons – sessions and workshops with Kantor’s Actors

The project Very Short Lessons is a series of drama workshops run by Tadeusz Kantor’s Cricot 2 Theatre actors. The actors will bring back Kantor’s achievements and at the same time present their own art and individual approach to his legacy. The project is addressed at art students and those who are willing to develop their acting skills.

The name of the project alludes to the dramatic workshops run by Tadeusz Kantor in Charleville-Mézières, which culminated in the creation of an exceptionally short theatrical form titled A Very Short Lesson. Hence on the one hand we allude to Kantor’s own art and on the other ʻthe short lessonsʼ are meant to mark the nature of the sessions, whose ambition is not a comprehensive presentation of Kantor’s acting method, but primarily initiating a creative discussion – both in theory and in practice.
